No, no .... are we at war! When did this war get declared? I must have
missed the debate in congress and the vote. When was it? What country is
our enemy?

They may be ordering some of that yucky French wine instead of the nice
californian stuff. The NSA should not listen in; they should disconnect
the call.

I see. You have no idea what the strategies are or how or if
they're being implemented, yet you're prepared to comment on what
their "obvious" results are?

Sounds to me like you're saying you'll know what supper's going to
be without even asking the cook.

Amazing talent.

What makes sense to us might not make sense to you, but that doesn't
mean that'll keep us from doing it.

From:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/july/3/newsid_4678000/4678707.stm

"The USS Vincennes had tracked the plane electronically and warned
it to keep away. When it did not the ship fired two surface-to-air
missiles, at least one of which hit the airliner."

I think the airplane's pilot should have had the good sense to heed
the Vincennes' warning.

It's beyond you anyway, so whether you need to or not is moot.
